Working your triceps is important if you're looking to improve your upper-body strength and see definition in your arms, say Rees and Clayton. "A lot of people confuse having beautiful, strong arms with more defined biceps, but it's actually in large part due to your triceps."

It's important to note that you can't spot train a body part or muscle group. If you're looking to see triceps #gains, it takes a combination of total-body strength and cardio workouts and following a clean meal plan. That being said, if you want to give a little extra attention to the muscles along the backs of your arms, these are some crazy-effective moves for doing just that.

Clayton and Rees have six moves guaranteed to give your triceps a major workout. Ready?! Let's do this!
